...inaudible and exciting music, the bright statues began a fantastically deliberate ballet through the squares of the chessboard. The pawns stepped forward with a delicate terror; the rooks swept furiously, in straight lines, across the spaces, and the bishops slanted with slow dexterity between the stiff irregular maneuvers of the knights. Soon there were fewer dancers in the ballet; two sinister queens pranced among them with precise cruelty. The music to which they moved grew faint and there were long periods in which the figurines stood still and the two men stared at the board with a contemplative fury. Finally...
...wife and their hired man stretched out their hands palm upwards, like suppliants, to Dr. H. P. Senftner, associate director of the state department of health. Their palms were covered with great ulcers, about one-half inch in diameter, one-sixteenth to one-eighth inch deep; the margins were irregular in outline and thickened. Dr. Senftner told the three to flip their hands over. The backs were covered with similar sores. One of the patients had the same sort of lesion on his face. All three had rather high fever, pain in their hands and in one case a swollen...
...Norman Crowne as they animate his son and daughter. As these two are more tragic, they are more spectacular. Their bright uneven beauty sometimes begins to be a little unreal.

These new stands are symmetrical and fire proof and will be a great improvement over the old wooden stands which were built in a very irregular fashion. The new stands will provide 1453 more covered seats than were available in the old stand. The varsity baseball diamond and field which has been considered one of the best baseball playing fields in the country has been preserved and has not been disturbed in any way through the construction...
...later appointed by the King to be Governor of Fort William. The war with the Colonies started and Burgoyne came to America. To him this place must have appeared unreal and picaresque; as it appears in old engravings and panoramas, a country of little, round hills, of funny irregular cities upon whose wide quiet squares a few bewildered people postured, of dark mysterious forests in which Indians trotted and yodeled and performed their gloomy dances. A citizen of London, he smiled; he watched Bunker Hill as if it had been a sham battle fought in an English park and, when...
